To drop a database on uninstall, you'll have to keep user credentials for 
database if SQL Server authentication is used (can we ask the user on 
uninstall?)

For those who drop on uninstall, how do you proceed?

This is how I run a sql script:

drop on uninstall but that could be arranged.

Subject: [WiX-users] SQL Script Deployment

Hi,

I am trying to get WIX to deploy a SQL database script.
We are building a database project using VSTS 2008 and deploying it
locally (on build server). When VSTS deploys, it creates a
databaseName.sql file. This file contains the script to drop / create
the database / permissions / views etc and also insert data that exists
in the post deploy scripts.

So, I would like to run this script with WIX, to create the database and
then drop the database on uninstall. This type of script also needs to
be run in SQL CMD mode.

What is the best way to achieve this?
I have tried various ways and have had no luck, the best / closest way I
got was to have a master sqldatabase under product and then sclscript as
a component that would create the database. But that returns a parse
error.

Please let me know if you need any more info :)

Many Thanks in advance.
Lourens
